Time Trial Discussion

Good improvement on this 2nd stint.

Still a BIG second from current gold, but maybe...

Well, this won’t last but I’m pleased to get gold in my first session. The car’s a little tricky to drive but it’s interesting nonetheless.

It’s cool with these time trials you get to learn each cars nuance. That’s what makes them fun.

I agree on learning about the cars.

Not a massive fan of asking a car to turn and it saying "no thank you, not today...." And instantly then changing it's mind and saying "actually now I'm gonna turn loads as you tickled the loud pedal" but I agree it makes it a challenge!

 

[feral and bad]

Spent an hour or so on GT7 the real yacht simulator.
I don't know how much more I can extract, but usual rules apply, 3 sessions, no improvement, sayonara. So we'll see.
If @Dan_Tes says 2 tenths is only one good corner exit, everyone has my permission to take him down to either of the Autopolis hairpins, do several donuts with him attached to their bumper and then shoot him with his own phaser.

Went back and found a sub 2:01 😁. Trying to cling onto the top 200 👀. I'm not quite alien potential yet, but I can at least see you guys beyond the stratosphere.

This thing drives like a bar of soap.

Not too bad, fairly happy with that considering the amount of rust I had to knock off.

Really enjoyable combo, haven't put this many miles into a time trial for a good few months. I'm one of the few who really enjoys Autopolis, amazing track in near enough any car I reckon.

Hello there!

Late night time trial session with a nice gain. 2:01:896

The lap:

I lost at least a tenth at the hairpin in S2 and I can get at least another tenth quicker in S1. Now... If I can put all together is another thing completely.

My thoughts:

Spoiler

• this is not a difficult combo to gold, however just like Interlagos (the other current TT) it is hard to find more time as you progress more and more. Both tracks are super technical in my opinion.
• in this session I kept restarting over and over because I believed I was hitting the start line faster this way. In my first sessions as soon the game gives me the control I was keeping the car in 2nd gear while negotiating the right and left before the straight. Now I keep it on 3rd and I try to not hit below 100kms.
• also I'm more aware of the spots where I have to let the car roll, and not use the throttle. It is counter intuitive for a slow driver like me, but it works.
• you guys lapping in the 2:00's are crazy fast!😅

Morning folks,

Had a pre-fishingtrip stint in the Viper this morning, it just get more infuriating trying to get the boat rotated, I wonder how this would drive IRL, it can't be this bad right?,

That said, I found key to this combo is trying to hold yourself back, slow in is fast out....
Don't push to hard, the car just doesn't work that way ...be patiënt and give it some steady rpm instead of pumping the padle...

Little time gained , I'm out .... fishing 😁

So the fat pig decided to come to the party.

I've maxed out the force feedback settings on my wheel, it really helps with the feeling of the weight transfer.

@skydragon49 @Jeje6410 Im coming for you guys 😄

 

[Ed_Night]

After driving rubbish yesterday, improvement came quick today and got below the 2min mark.

Not a very good run through S1 and S2, so a 59,6 should be doable.

What did I do to you? 😅😅😅

Welcome to the 2:01's my friend! 😎

Nothing at all mate. It's just the chase. It's the only thing that keeps GT alive for me and makes me come back for more. 🫡

I know my friend. I like the banter exchanges too. 😀

Was away all last week for work - travelling way too much these days! Gave the Vulcan a go today - lovely car / track combo.
Haven't tried the other one, not a fan of the track or the car.

@Chris30 I'm really sorry to hear that news and I hope your luck changes very soon.

 

[A_Higher_Place]

Found another 2 tenths! Opt now 0.6. Changed my inputs by slowing them down rather than being aggressive.

This combo is a soapy dream. @Pesselles do with that information what you will.
